WWT 1.3 9

Sturt probably the best bet at the moment
eagles with more possession though

Only real difference in the first quarter was the finishing in front of goal.....did Wundke play the decoy forward?

Agree, Eagles getting plenty of it, but Sturt look more dangerous going forward.

great start by young Jack Lukosius.

doesn't sound like the eagles are putting much pressure on the sturt forwards

Sturt 3.1
Eagles 2.3

Lukosius 2 for eagles

Sturt 3.1
Eagles 3.3

only 1 point from Sturt this quarter
Hansen gone for the day with back problem

Sturt 4.2  26
Eagles 3.4  22

what's with the low scoring?

Sturt 5.2 32
Eagles 3.4 22

Bald umpire favouring Sturt

Eagles getting way more possession, but not running enough.

Still anyone's game, though.

Rubbish, as a neutral the umpiring is fine

The Eagles won't heavily score when they have 8 & 9 players in defence, sure it pushes Sturt into the pockets but how does that help them score? Great contest to watch & I'll bet this is the type of match Chad Cornes would have hoped for

I thought Mark Evans was unlucky to be the player that Jake Sutcliffe replaced

WT 1.3...3-4
ST..3-1...5-2

My obersevations
Eagles have made more boo boos so far
Umpiring 50/50 decisions a little in favor of Sturt so far
Sturts skill level better than WWT

Bayman correct WWT seem to have a loaded defence
WWT might have to start attacking a bit more ?
Why wouldnt any team with key forwards like Wundke, Jack Hayes , Nick Hayes, Lukosius

Ive backed Sturt to win the first half, and then Woodville West Torrens to win the second half
Woodville West Torrens have produced some great finishes in the minor round

start of the 3rd Quarter

These umpires love sturt

Sturt 6.3 39
Eagles 3.4 22
